CARUS LLC Launches LEE PRO 1000: Revolutionizing Potassium Permanganate Treatment for Water & Beyond

Peru, IL – October 26, 2023 – CARUS LLC, a leading global producer of potassium permanganate, today announced the launch of LEE PRO 1000, a significantly enhanced potassium permanganate solution designed for a wide range of water treatment and industrial applications. Based in Peru, Illinois, CARUS has been solving challenging oxidation and disinfection problems for over 90 years, and LEE PRO 1000 represents the next leap forward in their commitment to innovation. “We’re really excited about LEE PRO 1000,” says [Insert Spokesperson Name & Title - assume Marketing Manager]. “We listened to our customers, and we built a product that directly addresses their needs for a more manageable, effective, and versatile potassium permanganate solution. It's not just a tweak; it’s a game-changer for a lot of applications.” What is Potassium Permanganate & Why LEE PRO 1000? For those unfamiliar, potassium permanganate (KMnO4) is a powerful oxidizer and disinfectant. Think of it as a really strong, versatile cleaning agent, but instead of scrubbing surfaces, it tackles problems within liquids and systems. It’s been used for decades in municipal water treatment, groundwater remediation, odor control, and even aquaculture. It removes iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide (that rotten egg smell), and other contaminants. However, traditionally, potassium permanganate has been sold as a solid, crystalline powder. While effective, working with the powder presents challenges. It’s dusty, can stain surfaces, and requires careful handling. Getting the right concentration for a specific application can be tricky, often requiring on-site mixing and constant monitoring. “We heard customers say, 'This stuff works great, but it's a pain to handle and accurately dose,'” explains [Marketing Manager]. “LEE PRO 1000 solves that. It’s a pre-dissolved, stabilized liquid solution, meaning no more dust, no more mixing, and a lot more consistency.” Key Features of LEE PRO 1000 So, what makes LEE PRO 1000 different? Here's a breakdown: Liquid Solution: The biggest advantage. No more dusty powder, simplifying handling and reducing the risk of spills. Pre-Dissolved: Ready to use right out of the container. Eliminates the time and effort required for dissolving solids. This is huge for smaller applications where setting up a dissolving system isn’t practical. Stabilized Formula: CARUS has developed a proprietary stabilization process. This significantly extends the shelf life of the solution and prevents precipitation – that murky stuff that can sometimes form in potassium permanganate solutions, reducing their effectiveness. “We’ve tackled that common precipitation issue head-on,” notes [Marketing Manager]. Precise Dosing: Because it’s a stabilized liquid, LEE PRO 1000 allows for much more accurate dosing. This translates to cost savings, reduced chemical usage, and improved treatment results. Versatile Applications: LEE PRO 1000 isn’t just for big municipal water plants. It’s designed to be useful across a wide range of applications, including: Municipal Water Treatment: Removing iron, manganese, and controlling taste and odor. Groundwater Remediation: Treating contaminated groundwater plumes. Wastewater Treatment: Oxidizing contaminants and controlling odor. Aquaculture: Controlling algae blooms and improving water quality. Industrial Processes: Various oxidation and disinfection applications. Well Water Treatment: Ideal for homeowners dealing with iron or manganese in their private wells. Reduced Handling & Labor Costs: The pre-dissolved, stabilized liquid form significantly cuts down on handling time and labor costs, offering a considerable operational benefit. Improved Safety: Minimizing dust reduces the risk of inhalation and skin irritation, creating a safer working environment.
